>>110211608France is going to have a blackmarket of bootleggers that sell movies on flash drives like in North Korea
>>110211608>by 11 votes to 10
It has to survive a quorate lower assembly session. Then the senate. All these outrage grifters pretending like it's the law of the land now.
>>110211608i hope they don't pass that shit, but if they do it'll likely be quite silly how many people will go to neighboring countries to download
>>110211923The fact that it's even proposed means something is wrong.
>>110211923A proposal this criminally incompetent should lead to the permanent instant and non-reversible dismissal of everyone involved and especially anyone that didn't actively vote against it including abstainers. All pensions reset to zero and all previously paid wages are to be repaid to the state with a fair interest rate of 20% p.A.That this doesn't happen is the issue.>b-b-bb-but it will get stopped!Yeah sure until it doesn't.
>>110211608This also aggressively targets legal but free content.Probably forced through by lobbyists.That way it is harder to provide free products.In germany they hate free stuff too.This is what happens when your government is corrupt.
>>110211608>by 11 votes to 10And where were the rest of the assembly? France's national assembly has almost 600 members.
>>110211608Not how laws work here. This shit will never see the light of day.>11 votes to 10God the Assembly was empty, as usual. These fucks take the people's money and never show up to work.
>>110212593>>110212812This isn't the first time some retarded law passes because everyone was on vacation or busy, and the 3 retards present decide to vote a law.
>>110211608Just Pirate? Who even pays for shit like Netflix when there is shit like HydraHD, literally just do anything but pay for those.
Surely this will make people NOT want to burn the country again
>>110211608>>110212247I'm not french but this looks to me like they are trying to oppose american influence
>>110211786the tax is for the one sending the data, so the companies
>>110213657>they are trying to oppose american influenceBy cementing that no one domestically will ever be able to compete with the Americans? The proposal is a blanket 55€ per TB traffic tax. FAGMAN can pay that even if it does pass, anyone else can't. And yes this law is so vague that it applies to everyone. CDNs, streaming services, gaming platforms, personal image clouds, IPTV, etc.
>the companies have to payThis is why EU is a tech and innovation no-mans-land.Over regulate and tax everything, innovate nothing.
>>110211608Inshallah this internet jizya shall pay for many new French mosques for years to come!
>>110211608Doomscrolleurs, c'est fini.
>>110212593>And where were the rest of the assembly? France's national assembly has almost 600 members.Drinking le wine and having le nap afterwards.Le work is le hard and le retirement age is 62 so you must pace yourself.
What is the purpose of the tax? What is it intended to address or solve? Where is the tax money supposed to go?
>>110213978Desperation to hold off a looming sovereign debt crisis.
>>110213978>Where is the tax money supposed to go?Boomers and boomers pets (niggers)
>>110213667>By cementing that no one domestically will ever be able to compete with the Americans?hmm, I thought it was targeted at foreign big tech. if not... then yeah, it's retarded, as is whoever proposed it.>The proposal is a blanket 55€ per TB traffic tax. FAGMAN can pay thatdo you realize they would pass costs to their customers? though it's so expensive, they might as well ban non-paying customers or just leave the country.
>>110211608>every gta6 download costs the cdn $11.55lol lmao KEKERINOFROGS GET WHAT THEY FUCKING DESERVE
>>110211835>Something good passes just barely >"We need to reconsider, completely gut this proposal, make a mockery of everyone who supported this and then finally pass something that is named the same but doesn't actually affect anything">Something bad passes just barely>"Yeah from today onwards you'll have to pay 500% tax on everything and also people with moles on their feet are to be executed, nothing we can do, the paper says that"
so what happens when someone decides to spam a shitload of unsolicited traffic to a bunch of french addresses? is it possible to bankrupt every french service provider for fun?
>>110211608>a Socialist amendmentthey keep using that word, I don't think they know what it meansI wish...
>trumptards still obsessed about France
>>110214601It's what this specific party is called.
>>110213661Who pays the companies retard? pirates stay winning.
>>110212247Every government proposes dumb shit all the time.
>>110211608Europeans are such pathetic faggots kek.
>>110216770bodied that little retard
>>110212247In burgerland every year we pass upwards to 100k pages of laws and regulations where only the people they benefit know what they are. There's an avalanche of rules being constantly churned out by corrupt and incompetent people that have no idea what they're doing and don't care because they enjoy the kikebacks.Politicians deserving to be made into xmas lamp post ornaments is the norm.
>>110211608Based socialists turning everyone back into pirates. Maybe those commies aren't so bad after all
>>110211608That's about 10 minutes of 1080p video so France is technically bringing back nickelodeons
>>110211608Bravo frogfags
>>110211608It's a PR stunt. Some le basé politician fils de pute will slam this law next week.
>>110211608It will affect only big content streamers, which all are American. Netflix will not raise their French pricing tenfold, but will make the rest of the world pay a few cents more each country.We all will pay frog taxes : )
>>110211608well? how much am I owed now from french streamers? chop chop
